Mothers Cures for the flu I work with children for the first time and I keep getting sick any remedi
So, here's the long and short of it...
I need to build up some type of immunity. so, taking antibiotics at this point is really silly. I'm feeling just terrible right now and my doctor wont be in until TUESDAY! so....alas, I'm stuck without any advice to go on. I plan on getting the flu shot now but I'm highly interested in what people suggest to help with: coughing, wheezing, severe body aches and nausia and just general complete grumpiness... I'm very interested in dietary solutions. Mom always said chicken noodle soup...do you have any old recipes or ideas to help soothe my raging soul?
Answer:I've been in your situation. Antibiotics and doctors' treatments (and flu shots) are not in your best interest.
Here's what I want you to do -- go to your local health food store (or Vitamin Shoppe) and pick up the following:
Vitamin C (500 to 1000 mg CAPSULES)
Oil of oregano
Zinc
Lysine
Olive leaf extract
Garlic capsules
Probiotics
Begin your morning with 1,000 to 4,000 mgs of C and the standard dosage of the rest. Take 1,000 to 4,000 mg of C during the day once or twice. Follow this up with the same dosage of all before bed. You'll want to maintain this for a period of at least 6 weeks. See how great you feel!
Working around children always is a challenge & with that they bring the runny noses & sneezes, etc. My granny used to give us Chamomile tea with honey & lemon Into which she poured a capful of Old Grand Dad Whiskey. Then she'd rub our chest with Vicks Salve & put on one of grampas old tee shirt under our pj's & tell us to get under the covers & sweat it out.HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON!
Oscillocoxinum. OJ, chicken soup, that stuffy head fever something something so you can rest medicine (can't remember the name) cough drops and Life Savers, hot tea, ibuprofen for during the day. Peppermint candies help, I don't know why, but after a while I can't stand the cough drops anymore, and these seem to work almost as well.
My dh takes that Airborne supplement. And uses lots of antibacterial hand gel.
chicken soup is supposed to have something in it that makes one feel better. Drink a lot of juices. Take Benedryl at night. Use tissues with lotion to help your nose from becoming chapped. Also...preventive medicine, sounds stupid, but it works, wash your hands all the time in anti bacterial soap. AND wash the door knobs with something that kills germs. Even spraying Lysol will help. Kids never wash their hands and they're always sick, they like to spread the wealth if you know what I mean.
